2. How does the process work start to finish? 

  • Step 1: Consultation and Design 
    We begin by closely collaborating with you to fully understand your needs and project goals. From there, we craft custom designs that are tailored to your specifications. 
  • Step 2: Approval Drawings 
    Before moving forward, we provide detailed approval drawings to ensure every aspect of the design is aligned with your expectations, eliminating any surprises as the project progresses. 
  • Step 3: Quality Assurance and Delivery 
    Each project undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure the highest standards of precision and craftsmanship. Only once we’ve thoroughly inspected the work do we proceed with delivery or installation. 

3. Where does your team work on fabrication projects? 

Our in-house fabrication shop offers a range of key advantages, ensuring that every project is completed with efficiency and precision. These perks include: 

  • 1. Direct Access to Our Engineering Team 
    By handling fabrication in-house, you have seamless access to our engineering experts, ensuring clear communication and the ability to quickly address any challenges that arise during the project. 
  • 2. Full Control Over Quality and Deadlines 
    Managing all fabrication processes on-site allows us to maintain strict control over both quality and timelines, ensuring that every project meets our high standards while staying on schedule. 
  • 3. Accelerated Turnaround Times 
    With the ability to manage the entire process in-house, we streamline production and reduce lead times, delivering fast results without sacrificing the quality of the final product. 

4. How long does the process generally take? 
The timeline depends on the scope and complexity of the project, but we are committed to delivering efficient, high-quality results. During the consultation phase, we provide a clear project timeline tailored to your specific needs.
